Yes, I know hockey is, without a doubt, Canada’s favourite sport. That being said, this weekend in Calgary our nation comes together to celebrate something exclusively and honestly Canadian. It is Grey Cup week! Let the festivities begin!

This year’s edition of the CFL Championship features the Saskatchewan Roughriders taking on the Montreal Alouettes for Lord Grey’s mug. It should be a good game. 2009 CFL Outstanding Player Anthony Calvillo and the Als are favoured by 9.5 points as of the writing of this blog. After watching both of these teams playing in recent weeks, I think it will be one hell of a game. I think it will be physical, fast, hard-hitting and evenly matched. I expect a close game. I also expect Saskatchewan will win this game.

I don’t think Montreal’s vaunted passing attack will be enough to top the Roughriders’ balanced team. With Durant proving he can get the job done in the clutch, time and time again, this somewhat negates Montreal’s advantage at QB. With Saskatchewan having the advantage in many other aspects of the game, I don’t think Montreal will have the same success with their air attack as they did last week against the banged up BC Lions.
